EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, Plate 781. Chickens; Scared by Torpedo, 1885. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge, this collotype print showcases his groundbreaking work in capturing motion through sequential frames. In this particular image from Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion" we witness a group of chickens startled by the sudden explosion of a torpedo. The intense smoke billows around them as they jump and flap their wings in fear and confusion. Each chicken's unique reaction is beautifully captured, highlighting their instinctual response to danger. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized our understanding of movement and paved the way for early motion picture sequences. His meticulous study of animals in motion not only contributed to advancements in photography but also deepened our knowledge of animal behavior. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art, Phillips Academy, Andover, MA, USA, this print serves as a testament to Muybridge's artistic vision and technical expertise. It offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into the intersection between art and science. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph today, we are reminded of Muybridge's lasting legacy as one of history's most influential photographers. Through his lens, he captured fleeting moments like these that continue to captivate audiences with their beauty and scientific significance.
